The average gas price at the pump in the U.S. is $4.53. In 2025 the average price was $3.10. That’s almost a 50% increase in a short amount of time. I asked normal people, including my 11-year-old, how this would change their behavior. #economics open.substack.com/pub/paperrobot…

As a humble blogger who has very much enjoyed his career, I’d say: If you like thinking and writing about economics, do it. It’s certainly not the standard way to the top of the profession but most of us aren’t at the top of the profession so who cares

It warms my heart to see the kids these days have the same debates me and my buddies were having 15 years ago in the old blogosphere. We are so back

@mean_field_zane I agree with everything after the first sentence. But I think all of that implies you should start a blog! If you're spending most of your time doing research you'll have lots of takes on papers, literature reviews, and not-quite-a-paper ideas to put on there

@VisualCap That's interesting how 5 of the top 10 have economic models that lean more democratic #socialist and are also likely in the top 10 happiest countries in the world.

I really don't understand why we review papers for journals. The paper is one artifact, semi shallow. I want to see your *data*. Let me see what you have actually done.

Who are the 5 most important intellectuals, left or right, in Indianapolis? I'm thinking of arranging a supper discussion club.

Dusty May on constructing his roster through the portal. “I think we are all better in certain situations than others… When the OKC Thunder won the Finals last year, I wasn’t judging them because SGA was drafted by the Clippers or because they signed Isaiah Hartenstein as a free agent. I thought, wow, those guys played beautiful basketball—that’s a real model for young players to watch.”

A team of researchers analyzed 500+ biology conference presentations over two years to find out if scientists are funny. Two-thirds of attempts at humor garnered either polite chuckles or straight-up dead silence, and only 9% landed well enough to get most of the room laughing.

Pro’s don’t take mandatory Com114.
Ryan Garwood@bballBurner1993

@RaphealDavis3 Simple answer: NCAA athletes are now pros (getting paid). Pro athletes in the NBA have contacts with teams and can’t just leave at their own leisure. Pro coaches also have contract but the buyouts often work a bit differently for coaches.

@AltermattLukas @haugejostein "It is estimated that the South lost an average of US$480 billion per year in potential national income under structural adjustment (in current US$, as of the late 1990s), *compared with a counterfactual extrapolation of the 1960–1980 trend*." 😅

A new paper shows that neoliberal austerity policies implemented by the World Bank and the IMF in Sub-Saharan Africa in the 1980s and 1990s were associated with a *20% decline in real incomes.* The destruction caused by these organisations across the Global South is staggering.
